Marion Cotillard has been the face of Lady Dior bags since 2008, and now the French label is giving the actress a chance to design something of her own.

The 37-year-old Oscar-winner is collaborating with Dior to create a handbag.

Dior released a behind-the-scenes video of Cotillard as she goes through the early stages of the design process.

"Actually, I'm torn between a rock-and-roll type or something extremely simple," she says in a video. "I would still like to put a strong Dior symbol on it."

Dior said in a statement that its collaboration with the actress felt "completely natural."
